  1. Whisk all the dressing ingredients together well, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Dress the cauliflower and butter beans liberally. Toss and then leave to sit overnight.
  3. When it comes time to serve, par boil the leeks for a moment in some boiling salted water.
  4. Add the warm leeks to the cauliflower and butter beans.
